9:1 And 1161 Saul 4569, yet 2089 breathing out 1709 5723 threatenings 547 and 2532 slaughter 5408 against 1519 the disciples 3101 of the Lord 2962, went 4334 5631 unto the high priest 749,

9:2 And desired 154 5668 of 3844 him 846 letters 1992 to 1519 Damascus 1154 to 4314 the synagogues 4864, that 3704 if 1437 he found 2147 5632 any 5100 of this way 3598, whether 5037 they were 5607 5752 men 435 or 2532 women 1135, he might bring them 71 5632 bound 1210 5772 unto 1519 Jerusalem 2419.(of this way: Gr. of the way)

9:3 And 1161 as he 846 journeyed 4198 5738 1722, he came 1096 5633 near 1448 5721 Damascus 1154: and 2532 suddenly 1810 there shined round about 4015 5656 him 846 a light 5457 from 575 heaven 3772:

9:4 And 2532 he fell 4098 5631 to 1909 the earth 1093, and heard 191 5656 a voice 5456 saying 3004 5723 unto him 846, Saul 4549, Saul 4549, why 5101 persecutest thou 1377 5719 me 3165?

9:5 And 1161 he said 2036 5627, Who 5101 art thou 1488 5748, Lord 2962? And 1161 the Lord 2962 said 2036 5627, I 1473 am 1510 5748 Jesus 2424 whom 3739 thou 4771 persecutest 1377 5719: [it is] hard 4642 for thee 4671 to kick 2979 5721 against 4314 the pricks 2759.

9:6 And 5037 he trembling 5141 5723 and 2532 astonished 2284 5723 said 2036 5627, Lord 2962, what 5101 wilt thou have 2309 5719 me 3165 to do 4160 5658? And 2532 the Lord 2962 [said] unto 4314 him 846, Arise 450 5628, and 2532 go 1525 5628 into 1519 the city 4172, and 2532 it shall be told 2980 5701 thee 4671 what 5101 thou 4571 must 1163 5748 do 4160 5721.

9:7 And 1161 the men 435 which 3588 journeyed 4922 5723 with him 846 stood 2476 5715 speechless 1769, hearing 191 5723 3303 a voice 5456, but 1161 seeing 2334 5723 no man 3367.

9:8 And 1161 Saul 4569 arose 1453 5681 from 575 the earth 1093; and 1161 when his 846 eyes 3788 were opened 455 5772, he saw 991 5707 no man 3762: but 1161 they led 5496 0 him 846 by the hand 5496 5723, and brought 1521 5627 [him] into 1519 Damascus 1154.

9:9 And 2532 he was 2258 5713 three 5140 days 2250 without 3361 sight 991 5723, and 2532 neither 3756 did eat 5315 5627 nor 3761 drink 4095 5627.

9:10 And 1161 there was 2258 5713 a certain 5100 disciple 3101 at 1722 Damascus 1154, named 3686 Ananias 367; and 2532 to 4314 him 846 said 2036 5627 the Lord 2962 in 1722 a vision 3705, Ananias 367. And 1161 he said 2036 5627, Behold 2400 5628, I 1473 [am here], Lord 2962.

9:11 And 1161 the Lord 2962 [said] unto 4314 him 846, Arise 450 5631, and go 4198 5676 into 1909 the street 4505 which 3588 is called 2564 5746 Straight 2117, and 2532 enquire 2212 5657 in 1722 the house 3614 of Judas 2455 for [one] called 3686 Saul 4569, of Tarsus 5018: for 1063, behold 2400 5628, he prayeth 4336 5736,

9:12 And 2532 hath seen 1492 5627 in 1722 a vision 3705 a man 435 named 3686 Ananias 367 coming in 1525 5631, and 2532 putting 2007 0 [his] hand 5495 on 2007 5631 him 846, that 3704 he might receive his sight 308 5661.

9:13 Then 1161 Ananias 367 answered 611 5662, Lord 2962, I have heard 191 5754 by 575 many 4183 of 4012 this 5127 man 435, how much 3745 evil 2556 he hath done 4160 5656 to thy 4675 saints 40 at 1722 Jerusalem 2419:

9:14 And 2532 here 5602 he hath 2192 5719 authority 1849 from 3844 the chief priests 749 to bind 1210 5658 all 3956 that call 1941 5734 on thy 4675 name 3686.

9:15 But 1161 the Lord 2962 said 2036 5627 unto 4314 him 846, Go thy way 4198 5737: for 3754 he 3778 is 2076 5748 a chosen 1589 vessel 4632 unto me 3427, to bear 941 5658 my 3450 name 3686 before 1799 the Gentiles 1484, and 2532 kings 935, and 5037 the children 5207 of Israel 2474:

9:16 For 1063 I 1473 will shew 5263 5692 him 846 how great things 3745 he 846 must 1163 5748 suffer 3958 5629 for 5228 0 my 3450 name's sake 3686 5228.

9:17 And 1161 Ananias 367 went his way 565 5627, and 2532 entered 1525 5627 into 1519 the house 3614; and 2532 putting 2007 5631 his hands 5495 on 1909 him 846 said 2036 5627, Brother 80 Saul 4549, the Lord 2962, [even] Jesus 2424, that appeared 3700 5685 unto thee 4671 in 1722 the way 3598 as 3739 thou camest 2064 5711, hath sent 649 5758 me 3165, that 3704 thou mightest receive thy sight 308 5661, and 2532 be filled with 4130 5686 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151.

9:18 And 2532 immediately 2112 there fell 634 5627 from 575 his 846 eyes 3788 as 5616 it had been scales 3013: and he received sight 308 5656 forthwith 3916, and 5037 arose 450 5631, and 2532 was baptized 907 5681.

9:19 And 2532 when he had received 2983 5631 meat 5160, he was strengthened 1765 5656. Then 1161 was 1096 5633 Saul 4569 certain 5100 days 2250 with 3326 the disciples 3101 which were at 1722 Damascus 1154.

9:20 And 2532 straightway 2112 he preached 2784 5707 Christ 5547 in 1722 the synagogues 4864, that 3754 he 3778 is 2076 5748 the Son 5207 of God 2316.

9:21 But 1161 all 3956 that heard 191 5723 [him] were amazed 1839 5710, and 2532 said 3004 5707; Is 2076 5748 not 3756 this 3778 he that destroyed 4199 5660 them which 3588 called on 1941 5734 this 5124 name 3686 in 1722 Jerusalem 2419, and 2532 came 2064 5715 hither 5602 for 1519 0 that 5124 intent 1519, that 2443 he might bring 71 5632 them 846 bound 1210 5772 unto 1909 the chief priests 749?

9:22 But 1161 Saul 4569 increased 1743 0 the more 3123 in strength 1743 5712, and 2532 confounded 4797 5707 the Jews 2453 which 3588 dwelt 2730 5723 at 1722 Damascus 1154, proving 4822 5723 that 3754 this 3778 is 2076 5748 very Christ 5547.

9:23 And 1161 after 5613 that many 2425 days 2250 were fulfilled 4137 5712, the Jews 2453 took counsel 4823 5668 to kill 337 5629 him 846:

9:24 But 1161 their 846 laying await 1917 was known 1097 5681 of Saul 4569. And 5037 they watched 3906 5707 the gates 4439 day 2250 and 2532 night 3571 to 3704 kill 337 5661 him 846.

9:25 Then 1161 the disciples 3101 took 2983 5631 him 846 by night 3571, and let [him] down 2524 5656 5465 5660 by 1223 the wall 5038 in 1722 a basket 4711.

9:26 And 1161 when Saul 4569 was come 3854 5637 to 1519 Jerusalem 2419, he assayed 3987 5711 to join himself 2853 5745 to the disciples 3101: but 2532 they were 5399 0 all 3956 afraid 5399 5711 of him 846, and believed 4100 5723 not 3361 that 3754 he was 2076 5748 a disciple 3101.

9:27 But 1161 Barnabas 921 took 1949 5637 him 846, and brought 71 5627 [him] to 4314 the apostles 652, and 2532 declared 1334 5662 unto them 846 how 4459 he had seen 1492 5627 the Lord 2962 in 1722 the way 3598, and 2532 that 3754 he had spoken 2980 5656 to him 846, and 2532 how 4459 he had preached boldly 3955 5662 at 1722 Damascus 1154 in 1722 the name 3686 of Jesus 2424.

9:28 And 2532 he was 2258 5713 with 3326 them 846 coming in 1531 5740 and 2532 going out 1607 5740 at 1722 Jerusalem 2419.

9:29 And 2532 he spake 2980 5707 boldly 3955 5740 in 1722 the name 3686 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424, and 5037 2532 disputed 4802 5707 against 4314 the Grecians 1675: but 1161 they went about 2021 5707 to slay 337 5629 him 846.

9:30 [Which] when 1161 the brethren 80 knew 1921 5631, they brought 2609 0 him 846 down 2609 5627 to 1519 Caesarea 2542, and 2532 sent 1821 0 him 846 forth 1821 5656 to 1519 Tarsus 5019.

9:31 Then 3303 3767 had 2192 5707 the churches 1577 rest 1515 throughout 2596 all 3650 Judaea 2449 and 2532 Galilee 1056 and 2532 Samaria 4540, and were edified 3618 5746; and 2532 walking in 4198 5740 the fear 5401 of the Lord 2962, and 2532 in the comfort 3874 of the Holy 40 Ghost 4151, were multiplied 4129 5712.

9:32 And 1161 it came 1096 5633 to pass, as 1330 0 Peter 4074 passed throughout 1330 5740 1223 all 3956 [quarters], he came down 2718 5629 also 2532 to 4314 the saints 40 which 3588 dwelt 2730 5723 at Lydda 3069.

9:33 And 1161 there 1563 he found 2147 5627 a certain 5100 man 444 named 3686 Aeneas 132, which had kept 2621 5740 1909 his bed 2895 1537 eight 3638 years 2094, and 3739 was 2258 5713 sick of the palsy 3886 5772.

9:34 And 2532 Peter 4074 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Aeneas 132, Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 maketh 2390 0 thee 4571 whole 2390 5736: arise 450 5628, and 2532 make 4766 0 thy 4572 bed 4766 5657. And 2532 he arose 450 5627 immediately 2112.

9:35 And 2532 all 3956 that dwelt 2730 5723 at Lydda 3069 and 2532 Saron 4565 saw 1492 5627 him 846, and 3748 turned 1994 5656 to 1909 the Lord 2962.

9:36 Now 1161 there was 2258 5713 at 1722 Joppa 2445 a certain 5100 disciple 3102 named 3686 Tabitha 5000, which 3739 by interpretation 1329 5746 is called 3004 5743 Dorcas 1393: this woman 3778 5625 846 was 2258 5713 full 4134 of good 18 works 2041 and 2532 almsdeeds 1654 which 3739 she did 4160 5707.(Dorcas: or, Doe, or, Roe)

9:37 And 1161 it came to pass 1096 5633 in 1722 those 1565 days 2250, that she was sick 770 5660, and died 599 5629: whom when 1161 they 846 had washed 3068 5660 846, they laid 5087 5656 [her] in 1722 an upper chamber 5253.

9:38 And 1161 forasmuch as 5607 5752 Lydda 3069 was nigh 1451 to Joppa 2445, and the disciples 3101 had heard 191 5660 that 3754 Peter 4074 was 2076 5748 there 1722 846, they sent 649 5656 unto 4314 him 846 two 1417 men 435, desiring 3870 5723 [him] that he would 3635 0 not 3361 delay 3635 5658 to come 1330 5629 to 2193 them 846.(delay: or, be grieved)

9:39 Then 1161 Peter 4074 arose 450 5631 and went with 4905 5627 them 846. When he 3739 was come 3854 5637, they brought him 321 5627 into 1519 the upper chamber 5253: and 2532 all 3956 the widows 5503 stood by 3936 5656 him 846 weeping 2799 5723, and 2532 shewing 1925 5734 the coats 5509 and 2532 garments 2440 which 3745 Dorcas 1393 made 4160 5707, while she was 5607 5752 with 3326 them 846.

9:40 But 1161 Peter 4074 put 1544 5631 them all 3956 forth 1854, and kneeled down 5087 5631 1119, and prayed 4336 5662; and 2532 turning 1994 5660 [him] to 4314 the body 4983 said 2036 5627, Tabitha 5000, arise 450 5628. And 1161 she opened 455 5656 her 846 eyes 3788: and 2532 when she saw 1492 5631 Peter 4074, she sat up 339 5656.

9:41 And 1161 he gave 1325 5631 her 846 [his] hand 5495, and lifted 450 0 her 846 up 450 5656, and 1161 when he had called 5455 5660 the saints 40 and 2532 widows 5503, presented 3936 5656 her 846 alive 2198 5723.

9:42 And 1161 it was 1096 5633 known 1110 throughout 2596 all 3650 Joppa 2445; and 2532 many 4183 believed 4100 5656 in 1909 the Lord 2962.

9:43 And 1161 it came to pass 1096 5633, that he 846 tarried 3306 5658 many 2425 days 2250 in 1722 Joppa 2445 with 3844 one 5100 Simon 4613 a tanner 1038.
